Song of Love

It was a nice read... just not really for me as I found it a bit slow. Still would recommend.

3.5 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️<br /><br /><br /><b>Song of Love</b> is the fourth book of <b>Thr Book of Love</b> series. I always enjoyed reading about <b>The Farthingales</b> I purchased this on my kindle without looking at the order of the books yet I do not regret it.<br /><br /><i>”Farthingales always marry for love”</i><br /><br />• <b>The Farthingales</b> are one of my favorite fictional families. They are jolly and a close-knit family that despite the innocent, comedic and at the same time scandalous circumstances their daughters end up in, some way or another they always find it in their hearts to let their daughters choose their happiness, Society be damned.<br /><br />• The <b>cast of characters</b> which includes <b>The Farthingale Family, The Brayden Family,</b> and other fantastic secondary characters with some previous characters from the Farthingale series making cameos. <b>Violet Farthingale</b> was a delightful and quirky character whom I adored and her chemistry with the devilishly handsome <b>Captain Romulus Brayden</b> is so sweet and endearing. Did you know that the <b>Bees</b> played a role in making this match? I am not kidding.<br /><br />• The <b>Romance</b> developed nicely spoiling me with sweet moments between the couple to a few sizzling scenes that made the sparks fly. It’s by no means a grand romance but a very cute one to read about.<br /><br />• I will read this series once I finish the Farthingales books and read this one in order.

Readers will fall madly in love with Romulus and Violet in this enchanting and witty tale! <br /><br />Read full review in the <a href="https://indtale.com/reviews/historical/song-love" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">2020 April issue of InD'tale Magazine.</a>

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️<br />??<br /><br />This series continually enthrals me , I just adore Meara’s writing.<br /><br />These two, Romulus and Violet are beautiful together , such feeling and chemistry they are addictive.<br /><br />The build up of their relationship was the best so far , he’s totally besotted with her yet she has reservations that make her uncertain that they really belong together , we can see that they were made for each other.<br /><br />I Loved the plot , the twists and tension that builds around the characters. <br />The many Braydens that reintroduce themselves throughout and the new characters that are like a breath of fresh air . All wonderful.<br /><br />And the emotion when she sings for him , sigh, I was hooked .<br /><br />Give me more and soon Meara x <br /><br />I received an Arc copy of this book and chose to post this review

The Song of Love <br />The Book of Love Series #4<br />Meara Platt<br /><a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/AuthorMearaPlatt/">https://www.facebook.com/AuthorMearaP...</a><br />Release date 12/17/2019<br />Publisher Dragonblade Publishing<br /><br />Blurb :<br /><br />What makes a man fall in love? Violet Farthingale is desperate to know because she has just been caught in Captain Romulus Brayden’s home with her gown unlaced and his hands too far up her legs to explain away. It was an innocent misunderstanding, of course. She was attacked by bees and he came to her rescue. No one seems to care that nothing happened. She is now forced to marry this handsome stranger. Everyone knows Farthingales only marry for love, so how does she make this big and brawny Royal Navy captain fall in love with her? And how will she fall in love with him in under a week?<br /><br />Romulus Brayden has always loved the sea, and now it seems he’ll have to learn to love Violet Farthingale, because she is going to be his wife. Honor demands it. After all, he did have his hands on her luscious body, and while her behavior was innocent, his certainly was not. Lusting for Violet is not the same as wanting her as his wife, but there is no way out of this scrape without ruining her, and this he will not do. She is insisting on their reading The Book of Love together. Well, why not? Braydens marry for love. <br /><br />My review :<br /><br />When found in an involuntary compromising situation, how will two promptly engaged persons react together ...<br /><br />It is no secret I preorder every new release by Mrs Meara Platt, since the first Farthingale tale I have read, I since follow every new release.<br />So when an other Farthingale meet a Brayden, it can only be a sweet and lovely story in-the-making.<br />Violet, aptly named, is a lovely young miss only weeks away from her debut. But everything turned to ash when she is found in a compromising situation.<br />This first scene was just hilarious.<br />The matchmaking bees!<br />She is a sweet and caring young soul with the voice of an angel.<br />Romulus is young too but like the other Braydens, he choice duties to his country over anything else. Yet, he is the first to fall under the Chipping Way Curse. He is quickly besotted with his new bride-to-be, even if he denies it at first.<br />Their tale is one of a double love, the one they have and will only grow with time and the one between every members of their big family broods.<br />Together they have no real hardship to get to know one another, as they are companion souls, kindred spirits.<br />But what will be a Farthingale story without a bit of drama.<br />As while they come along perfectly, things around them are not always so smooth, up to them to decide whom deserved their trust and faith.<br /><br />It is so good to see again all those Farthingales and Braydens, I have never enough of them.<br />A lovely new installment in the book of love series demonstrating that what might appear at first as an impossible turn of circumstances with bad luck can also be the best thing in one’s life.<br />5 stars<br /><br /><br /><a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/429830134272830/posts/527508767838299/?d=n">https://www.facebook.com/429830134272...</a>

I am very disappointed with the Song of Love. The story moves slow and end with situations unresolved. The ending is rushed and makes no sense to the storyline. I like the H/H the chemistry between them was good. The storyline had not real direction.

Oh Meara, this has been such a wonderful series! Her writing speaks to my heart and I am always excited to become captured in one of her stories that are perfect for a historical romance!<br />The Book of Love has already "helped" bring three matches together, so it should be able to aid Violet Farthingale and Captain Romulus Brayden toward that emotion!<br />Caught in an innocent compromising situation (it had to do with bees and of course honey!), the Captain feels honor bound to marry Violet and he only wants to learn to love her. Braydens only marry for love after all! <br />But Violet wants them to read that book together and see if they cannot find that elusive emotion.<br />Love, Love, Loved this one! Don't miss this or any in this series. Heck, any book that Meara Platt has written!! I would say she gets better and better, but she is always great, no matter what story she writes!!

<i>Her eyes were violet.<br />Not just violet, but a vivid, sparkling violet.<br />Which explained why her parents had thought to name her…Violet.</i><br /><br />Not gonna lie, I probably enjoyed this because I didnt think too hard. I dont know if the first book in the series primed me for the writing style, but this one was easier to get through. The heroine reminds me of Felicity Jones as Cathy in Northanger Abbey. Innocent, young. Their courtship and marriage happens in a week. <br /><br />There’s some heroine and hero engaging in casual sexism (rawr men are baboons, men only know lust, men think with their dicks, she’s not like other girls), villainous widows, and confusing family trees (references to other books maybe?) sprinkled throughout the story. <b>Im not trying to be mean</b>, I know these are basically tenants of Historical Romance but darling, its all about the delivery. <br /><br />I could honestly care less about the so called “scientific” Book of Love; unfortunately it functions as the primary device to prolong the story. Overall, cute for a time-pass read.

<strong>Oh that book!</strong><br /><br />Once again the Book of Love strikes and Meara Platt finds the perfect couple for it to work on. She’s a darling Farthingale and he’s a handsome Captain in the Royal Navy. Bees play an integral part in introducing them but the book takes it from there. This story will make you laugh and sigh and wish you were there.
